Executive Diploma in Leadership and Management
The Executive Diploma in Leadership and Management is a 120 credit size qualification (UK), equivalent in size to the first year of a UK Masters’s degree.
It is designed for students who want to gain a greater depth and understanding of the core functions of management and business administration. It is designed to develop the skills, knowledge and competencies of managers and future managers who conduct business locally and internationally.
The Executive Diploma in Leadership and Management builds on the Institute of Management Specialists traditional strengths and prepares students to compete and succeed at the global level.
In addition to mastering core business disciplines and developing first-rate analytical and problem-solving skills, students gain a solid foundation in international business concepts, develop intercultural management skills, and build cultural awareness.
The composition of the Executive Diploma in Leadership and Management provides a wealth of valuable grounding for managers. Emphasis is placed on functional and applied skills, complemented by cultural studies designed to enable managers to act sensitively, appropriately and effectively in the international business environment. With a mix of theory and practice throughout the program, it is relevant and immediately applicable to your workplace.
We provide a flexible route for learners who have already achieved management qualifications at a lower level and for learners who do not have management qualifications, but may have qualifications in other areas and/or prior experience the work place.
